Get Ready for a Full Day with These Protein Breakfast Options

One of my favorite meals of the day is breakfast! That’s because as a personal trainer and a Nutritionist, I know it’s such an important meal that will not only nourish my body, but it will most definitely help me reach my goals.

Your breakfast, no matter your goals, should include more than just a cup of coffee and/or a donut. You need to fuel your body for the day and break the fast between dinner and morning. Always replenish your good carbs to give you energy along with adding protein and healthy fats to the mix for building muscle and boosting brain power.

Protein, it’s What’s for Breakfast

Whether your goal is to build muscle or lose fat, your breakfast choices do matter. You need healthy complex carbs for energy to power you through not only your workout but also your day. You also need a few healthy fats and know that fat doesn’t make you fat, the good kind actually helps you lose fat! It’s essential for brain function, muscle growth, and many hormonal processes in the body to name a few reasons to eat fat.

Protein is also a much-needed macronutrient. Protein is the building block of life. It’s found in your hair, muscles, skin, and pretty much every cell in the body, get the point? Great! Let’s protein up your breakfast now with these high protein breakfasts:

Instead, it will utilize the healthy and energy packed carbs you just gave it. Enjoy!
